Complete walkthrough

web-app

I would really like a complete walkthrough of how to install Gemini on a machine. I've tried using SQL Server Express 2005, but I couldn't get that working, so i tried downloading MSDE... that was a trainwreck.

How do I set up the MSDE? Why do I have to change 20 settings in the web.config file to get startet?

I'm finding it really hard to get started with this software.

I hope you can help me get started.

After installing MSDE, create a database (with case insensative character set).

Run GeminiDB.msi and point it to your MSDE server and Gemini database that you have created above.

Run Gemini,msi to install the web app. After installing configure the connection string and FullGeminiURL setting in the web.config file. That is it.

How do I create a database in MSDE? There is no graphical interface is there?

A link to some MSDE tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

(How come Gemini does not run on Express 2005?)

Gemini can run with SQL Express and 2005.

use osql to connect to your MSDE and run a create database sql command.
